GF Tomlinson are a large property developer in Derby who had previously worked on various projects with Geo Green Power. The Managing Director had always had an interest in renewable energy and wanted to look at ways of implementing the technology into the company. The company has various premises across Derbyshire all of which have a significant energy usage (server rooms, lighting, air conditioning, heating etc) and the majority of this usage is through the day. Therefore solar was the obvious choice.

Geo Green Power were asked to survey four sites in total, one wasn’t viable due to the orientation and age of the building but the other three buildings were ideal. A 50kW scheme was installed on the factory building, a 38kW system was installed on a large office block, a 24kW system was installed on one of their hire shops and 2 x 30kW systems were installed on one building which had two supplies.

Across the 5 solar PV systems GF Tomlinsons will save approximately £16,500.00 on their energy bills per year, and also save in the region of 75 tonnes of CO2.

GF Tomlinson’s wanted to let their customers know that they’d gone green and so as part of their installation Geo Green Power installed remote monitoring systems and set up TV displays in their reception areas.
